    ..tell me again why capitalism is a good thing?

    Umm, because its proponents get to live like intergalactic royalty whilst everyone else lives in the gutter?

    Did I win?

    Everyone tells everyone they know what the RIAA is doing and asks them to pass the information on in the same way.... Public ignorance allows the ghouls to keep profiting.

    but rather things like our collective genomes losing resistance to things that are supposed to have disappeared from our ecosystems.

    Hopefully that's not the way it works.. I mean, isn't the genome mostly stuff which 'appears' to have no value? Maybe this is the archive of things useful from past ages.

    How can we arrange it such that whenever attempts to imply that copying something deprives the 'owner' of their copy, they receive an electric shock?

    Companies can front-load; i.e. put 30% of their effort/resources into the demo, even though it's only 5% the length of the game...

    If each game implemented some common api allowing part of a game to be randomly selected and packaged-up into a demo, such that different people get to play different parts, there'd be less scope for gaming the system.

    There is this thing call the internet that allows you to search for and find reviews of games, movies, and just about anything else you want, written by people who were paid to write favourable reviews.

    Time to roll out the tired, old 'there, fixed that for you' meme, once again...

    The GP is saying that obama is intelligent. I'm accepting that ok, maybe he's intelligent and competent but that those two facets of his personality are not enough to ensure that the country's people get a fair deal from his period of office.

    I'm 'trying to turn that into a debate on being a good president' because the thread is focusing too closely on intelligence and comptence. What about ethics? Desire to do the right thing? Huh?

    Uhh, tobacco companies 'success' is due to their fact that their 'customers' are drug-slaves. They could at least have the decency to push a drug that has a nice high, comedown and doesn't kill people. How the hell is selling tobacco-and-associated-chemicals-in-a-death-stick legal?
